Use study mode when the goal is learning

Study mode pauses the timer and lets you check one answer at a time. Use it when you want to slow down, compare distractors, and read the rationale before moving on.

Use exam mode when the goal is rehearsal

Exam mode keeps the timer running and shows review after submission. Use it when you want a realistic pacing check and a complete score report.

Reset the timer when you restart a form

If you begin a new pass through a form, reset the timer so the pacing data reflects the current attempt.
